This biographical drama tells the story of Finnish homoerotic artist Touko Laaksonen, or — as he was better known — Tom of Finland. After returning home to Helsinki after serving in WWII, the decorated officer made a name for himself by drawing muscular men. Though he faced plenty of adversity from Finnish society (as well as his family), Tom of Finland eventually became one of the most celebrated figures of 20th century gay culture, inspiring a whole generation of gay men.
